   U220401 NVidia versus Nouveau, no DKMS u   
   13 Aug 22 11:24:06   
   
   From: nospam@needed.invalid   
      
   I noticed after an update yesterday (would include a kernel),   
   that nvidia-drm is no longer loading and nouveau is running   
   my GTX1080.   
      
   And no matter what I do in Additional Drivers, like switch from   
   NVidia to Nouveau and back to NVidia again, the situation does   
   not change. I end up running Nouveau.   
      
   U2204 no longer seems to be using DKMS for NVidia. It may still   
   be using DKMS for the VirtualBox drivers.   
      
   And in terms of blacklists, nouveau is no longer getting blacklisted   
   when NVidia is selected as an Additional Driver (whether 515 or 470).   
   I tried blacklisting Nouveau (/etc/modprobe.d added file) and I was ignored.   
      
   So now I don't know where to look next. Something must be telling   
   the OS to not bother with NVidia-drm (Direct Render Module) and   
   do something else instead.
